Starting Monday, 04/27, masks will also be mandatory in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate when using public transportation and in stores. What does this mean for the university?

At the university, the recommendation to wear masks still applies – especially for time spent in the library, which has been reopened to a limited extent since Tuesday, April 21st.

In addition to masks purchased in stores, you can also use a fabric mask you have sewn yourself or a scarf or bandana to cover your nose and mouth.
